I am not getting any ?


hellbugged - June 4th, 2007 at 09:14 PM

hey Neil, are the first ones above (one piece) same offset etc as EA?


seagull - June 4th, 2007 at 09:18 PM

The back space needs to be machined for EA off set ( they all do )


cheers


hellbugged - June 4th, 2007 at 09:21 PM

....sooo can i use them with your caliper brackets after that?

how 'bout drilling and tapping for porsche pattern ?


seagull - June 4th, 2007 at 09:24 PM

yes

I never ever will drill & tap diskes mate only fit studs for that aplication

I send you a pm as I can do this


hellbugged - June 4th, 2007 at 09:31 PM

yep understand .........should have just asked about uniform thickness accross that section.......anyways

waiting for u2u, email me (button) if it's not working M8


seagull - June 4th, 2007 at 09:35 PM

That section is 22mm thick , but I hate the idea of drilled & taped studs .
I have long series ( new ) studs & nuts , this is safer !


sinecure - June 4th, 2007 at 10:10 PM

u2u'd you on 3/06 about the first set.

Didn't get that one either?


seagull - June 4th, 2007 at 10:14 PM

I have a look


hellbugged - June 4th, 2007 at 10:29 PM

u2u's working fine both from and to seagul for me.............

i have been caught out before tho, u2u's don't work without anything in the "subject" box...........


sinecure - June 5th, 2007 at 10:23 AM

Said sent successfully, and came up as 'Read' later on in Outbox, but I don't think I put a subject in, so my bad.

The reason for wanting the first set was that I need them drilled as standard 4 stud VW pattern, otherwise the cross-drilled rotors would have been my choice.

I was also trying to find info on fitting them to my type 3 kitcar, and noticed that you used to make backing plates to suit IRS. Do you still do this?

What about brake lines and handbrake cables etc.? Would I need to modify them to suit the Ford calipers?

As I'm being a HUGE pain in the arse anyway, can you post a link to the conversion info? The only one I can find is a HUGELY expensive exercise by vwcool I think.

Cheers,

Mick.

this looks cheap
Neil has the ford EA backing plates that he welds the ford oem holes up & redrills them on a jig .I seen a set on the shelf at his house the other week .
As for the brake lines he gets these made & they are full ADR , I purchased a set from his Dragon brake down .
the brake cables are the factory for units Jenny T did a write up some time back on this set up .

all in all Neil is a top guy & these a New in box items

lol... my HUGELY expensive exercise is still underway... you should see the stack of invoices and brakesd parts I have here!!

It's the front vented disc conversion that has chewed up my cash; in comparison, developing two types of rear disc kits has cost me less money than the fronts..

I can supply two types of rear disc setup based on Ford (287mm) or Nissan (260mm) both with VW stud pattern, if you run out of steam elsewhere

Dumone also has a good set of pics and some info on installing Ford rear discs:

Yeah, ta mate! Damien u2u'd me with the link to his info, and also advised me that if I was running the type3 wide drums (which I am), that it probably wouldn't be worth it performance wise to change to discs.

Your set-up is awesome, it just seemed a TAD expensive :P , and as it's basically a cosmetic change for me, I may just leave it as is.

Cheers,

Mick.
